Know before you buy
Jaunty Jack's Top Hat Surprise measures 8.5 inches wide, 8.5 inches deep, and stands 14 inches tall.
No, this piece is designed exclusively for indoor use. The paper mache and crepe paper materials are not weather-resistant and should be kept away from moisture.
The figurine is crafted from a blend of paper mache and resin, accented with flocking on the hat, plastic leaves, lacquer berries, and chenille. The entire piece is finished with a sparkling sugar glitter coating.
The mouse is a stationary, decorative element tucked into the flocked top hat. It is designed as a charming, fixed detail rather than a moving part.
Because of the glitter and delicate materials like crepe paper and flocking, it is best to use a soft, dry brush or a gentle puff of air to remove dust. Avoid using water or chemical cleaners, as these can damage the finish.
